Leftovers - No fridge - One-pan - Stove top meal
Equipment
- Tagine
Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Onion
- 2 Potatoes
- 2 Carrots
- 1 bulb Garlic
- 1 cup Olives
- 2 tbsp Almonds
- 10 Prunes
- 1 Pepper
- 1 Lemon
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
- Put a layer of olive oil in the base of the tagine.
- Cut up enough onions to cover the base. Don’t cut the onions too finely, nice and chunky is good!
- Cover onions in good amount of Cumin.
- Cover the onions with some potatoes, keep them a good size unless you want to cook the tagine as quickly as possible in which case cut them up into small pieces. Add some more olive oil.
- Take a bulb of garlic and separate all the cloves and place them around the outside of the potatoes.
- In the middle of the tagine make a pile of first olives then prunes and then almonds.
- Sprinkle some chilli powder over the fruit and nuts.
- Cut carrots into sticks and lean them up against your pile of fruit and nuts to create what looks a bit like a teepee.
- Place slices of pepper around the carrots. Add some more olive oil.
- Sprinkle the lot with Coriander powder.
- Take a whole lemon and cut into quarters and place on top of your ingredients. Cover with more cumin powder.
- Add some water, not too much! People often add too much water, we prefer more oil, less water. Half a cup full for a small to medium tagine and three quarters of a cup for a large tagine should be plenty.
- You should have piled your ingredients up so as it fits inside the conical lid of the tajine.
- Put the lid on and cook on the coals of an open fire or gas burner for around three quarters of an hour on gas but up to a couple of hours on coals. Test potatoes and carrots during cooking with a sharp knife to know when they are soft enough to eat.
